The title may be a bit confusing so let me explain. I am
hosting 2 websites at www.yourhosting.nl and they're
reluctant to supply me with the right information or a
good example. In reality it is just 1 website and another
in a sub-folder of the first. Using ISAPI rewrite (and I
guess a virtual directory in IIS) the second website
works as if it stands alone.
So, there is www.mainsite.com and www.subsite.com. The
root path for mainsite is /home/html and the subsite is
located in /home/html/subsite.com.
There is a /home/html/httpd.ini which contains the
following rules:
RewriteCond %SERVER_NAME ^www\.subsite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) /subsite.com$1 [I,L]
RewriteCond %SERVER_NAME ^subsite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) /subsite.com$1 [I,L]
Now I wish to write a rule for this subsite, let's say
www.subsite.com/home -> www.subsite.com/home.aspx
Normally, this wouldn't be a problem. I guess I would use
something like this:
RewriteRule ^/home$ /home.aspx [I ]
I tried such a rule in /home/html/subsite.com/httpd.ini
but it does not work. It seems to me this has something
to do with the site being in a sub-folder. So I tried to
add the following rule in /home/html/httpd.ini:
RewriteRule ^www\.mainsite\.com/home$
/mainsite.com/home.aspx [I ]
Which doesn't work, it's probably wrong. I explained this
to YourHosting but they keep saying they're unable to
supply me with 'substantial support'. Whatever...
Besides the occasional miscommunication I have with them
they're a fine hosting company.

Hello, Dick
"Now I wish to write a rule for this subsite, let's say www.subsite.com/home -> www.subsite.com/home.aspx"
- please try to put the following into /home/html/httpd.ini:
RewriteCond %SERVER_NAME ^subsite\.com$
RewriteRule /home /subsite.com/home.aspx [I,L]

Hi Anton,
Thank you for your reply. The rule you supplied does not
seem to work. I played around with it a bit but am unable
to get it to work.
Is it possible that it doesn't work because of the way the
sites are configured? I'm not really sure what's going on
'behind the screens'.

Please try to use:
RewriteCond %SERVER_NAME (www\.)?subsite\.com
RewriteRule /home /subsite.com/home.aspx [I,L]
And please tell whether those 2 rules for subsite.com you showed above are working well?
And if yes, do they precede the rule we are working on?

It works. You are a genius! :)
I had to place your rule before the existing rules
created by the hosting provider. So now I've got:
# Anton rule
RewriteCond %SERVER_NAME (www\.)?subsite\.com
RewriteRule /home /subsite.com/home.aspx [I,L]
# Hosting provider rules
RewriteCond %SERVER_NAME ^www\.subsite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) /subsite.com$1 [I,L]
RewriteCond %SERVER_NAME ^subsite\.com$
RewriteRule (.*) /subsite.com$1 [I,L]
I also tried this with the rule from your first reply
(placing it in front of my hosting provider's rules) but
that didn't work.
I don't understand why the order matters or why my
hosting provider wouldn't give me this information. I
will send them a link to this topic. Maybe they can use
it for other customers with the same problem (if they're
able & willing :))
Thank you very much!
